What figures from the last few years should be re-released?

I was going to post this earlier in the month but got sidetracked by personal business. Anyway, I left myself a note to start a thread about this, and so now is as good as any time.

The question is: what figures from the last few years should be re-released into the mainline? This can be from any source, but it should be a modern-quality figure. Maybe it's a figure that got a microscopic initial release; maybe it's a figure that simply should have a regular presence on shelves; maybe it was a pack-in on a set nobody could really afford. Whatever the reason you come up with is fine.

Also, perhaps you could let us know, how do you think the figure will do returning to market? Why do you want to see it return? Is it worth the new, higher pricetag as-is?

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Revan and Malak seem modern enough in sculpt to me, they fit in with the sculpting style, they're just in that period of oversized shoulder joints, and they are lacking in super articulation in a few areas, but I'd still call them modern thanks to the sculpts and arm joints. It's not like when Hasbro took the Imperial Scanning Trooper from the '90s and gave him a modern paintjob.

ROTJ R2-D2 should make a return, the one of the rare accurate sculpts for the dome and body didn't get a strong release in its first outing.

I wonder why we're all so stymied on coming up with re-release figures.

* - I'm convinced the entire Oklahoma north-eastern distribution network for SW figures was sabotaged simply to make sure this figure never saw the pegs here. So, I figure rerelease and rerelease and rerelease it until it can no longer be kept from me. :P
